Join Harvard Forest director David Foster and Harvard College students from the Harvard College Conservation Society for a lecture, lunch, and guided walk at the beautiful Harvard Forest in Petersham, Massachusetts, during peak foliage season.

Learn about the Harvard Forest inspired Wildlands and Woodlands vision for New England and how and why the Harvard Forest team has launched and engaged a growing group of colleges and universities across New England in an important effort called ALPINE (Academics for Land Protection in New England). ALPINE seeks to engage the full breadth of academic institutions (students, staff, faculty, administrations, and alumni) in advancing the conservation of the New England landscape.

Since 1907, the Harvard Forest has served as the university’s outdoor laboratory and classroom for ecology and conservation. During this popular program, you will explore the Fisher Museum, learn about how current students engage with the Forest, see first-hand the ongoing climate research happening throughout the forest, and discover how YOU can get involved.
